No.

Unless you’re doing it wrong by like… adding sugar or something.

Time for another cup, I had 2 large heaped teaspoons of Gyokuro this morning, now I’ll have some China Jasmine.

    There is a term used mainly for Pu-Erh teas - being tea drunk. That describes literal caffeine high invoked by ingesting a lot of caffeine relatively quickly.

    Speaking from experience - the worst that had happened for me was not being able to sleep the night after drinking a lot of strong gong-fu brewed Pu-Erh teas.

      Yep, also had this. I’m generally insensitive to caffeine, especially in tea, but I remember my hands shaking even, when I drank a lot of gong-fu brewed Pu-Erh in quick succession with an empty stomach.

        Chemically theanine, taurine and caffeine are the same thing.
